:wow:Glad to be here. I have been detecting for two years now. I started out with a Whites 5900 DI PRO as a starter, it was a confusing to used because of many knobs, switch and adjustment parameter. I did manage to get a two mercury dimes out of that beat up park for couple of months. Upgrade to garret Ace 250. what a great starter machine, so simple to use and found a jar full of modern coins. and my best find with that machine is a 1911 barber and two silver rings. I upgraded to a minelab musketeer colt and got a gold weding band and a silver ring 10 feet away. Sold that one and got a Minelab Sovereign, a great realic machine. I did find some deeper silver coins and buffaloe nickles . Sold that one too, but got a Minelab Explorer SE for a replacement. I'm happy with this machine: My silver coins count is getting up there: my best find is a Standing liberty and 1951 frankling Half last week. my only complains about the Explorer is my pulltaps count is down. Hoorah!

Hi, and welcome! Glad to have you aboard. Wow, that is a lot of detectors in two years! Sounds like you have done great with them. I used the SE for a couple of years and it is a great machine. Looking forward to seeing your posts! :beerbuddy:

I'm looking for another detector for my 4 yr old son/hunting buddy. Maybe I should try Minelab :thinkingabout: Could use it as backup also :rolleyes: lol

Thank you for all of your supports. I love my new hobby! Never a dull day when I'm out detecting, even if all day digging junks, or even in the middle of the lighting storm once . It's my piece of heaven.

I'm here to pick up some pointers from you folks. I still know nothing about nothing. I'll show you some of my past and new find in my later post. Happy digging! :->

Welcome to American Detectorist. We are happy to have you here. :clapping:
My first detector was an Ace 250 and moved to the Explorer SE too.
The Explorer SE is a great machine as you are finding out. It is capable of some great depth and more importantly
target separation. You'll be very happy with the results once you become in tune with it.
Looking forward to your posts.

Hi Pulltap,
I understand...I go though detectors like potato chips...but now I'm done for years (fingers crossed).
Have a great fall season and welcome from a few hours away in NE CT.
